In the charity's own words
Foundation for Change works with people affected by substance misuse. A main aim of the organisation is supporting our service-users to integrate and engage in society from a fresh perspective, achieved through education. We aim for individuals to feel more informed, less helpless, and better empowered in their lives as opposed to being dependent on intervention from treatment services.
